The September issue of Gessan magazine announced on Saturday that Souichirou Yamamoto's Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san (Teasing Master Takagi-san) manga is ending in two chapters in the November issue on October 12.

Yamamoto began serializing the romantic comedy manga in Gessan in June 2012. Shogakukan shipped the 19th volume on March 10. Yen Press licensed the manga in English in November 2017 and released the 17th volume on April 18. The 18th volume is scheduled to go on sale on January 23.

Shin-Ei Animation adapted the manga into three anime seasons in Winter 2018, Summer 2019, and Winter 2022. An anime movie was released in theaters in June 2022. Crunchyroll is streaming the first season with English subtitles and a dub. Netflix is streaming the second season, and HIDIVE is streaming the third season and the movie.

Synopsis
With a smirk, the mischievous middle school boy Nishikata glances over at Takagi, the girl seated next to him in class. He has just devised a master plan to finally get back at her for all the merciless teasing inflicted upon him. As he is about to set his plan into motion, Takagi intervenes with a single comment that halts Nishikata right in his tracks. She had turned the tables on him yet again.

"If you blush, you lose." That has been the unwritten rule set between the two ever since they encountered one another in middle school. Day after day, loss after loss, Nishikata strives to see Takagi red with embarrassment, but his futile attempts are only met by further ridicule. Beyond this vicious cycle of trying to outwit one another, will their relationship ever evolve? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Feels sad to say goodbye. Of course the spin-off is still there and on-going, but will miss these two. Although, with the movie it was highly likely manga would wrap up soon too.

It's really a sequel, but not a sequel, so you're wrong - you couldn't even more confirm that you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. Goodbye.
i mean, your whole argument is just screaming "you are wrong". how is that an argument? you didn't know Moto takagi didn't credit yamamoto shuichiro as writer. you didn't know moto takagi started as fanfic.

i literally give you the context on HOW moto takagi serialization was not even yamamoto original idea and he didn't have much control over moto takagi and only credited as inspiration. it also again, not "literal" sequel in your average sense. please read again i edited my comment to give even more context.
you didn't clarify first argument, but made another one. both are inaccurate and didn't fit moto takagi background.
So, are you literally repeating the delusional dude above who claims that the manga isn't a sequel because it's written by a different author and since the author is different, the author of Takagi has no control over it? All dude, my patience just ran out. Now you are not only supporting a delusional argument for the sake of an argument, but also defending a deliberately delusional argument just to continue it. This is my last reply for you and I will finally add you to the ignore list to make sure I never have to have another delusional endless argument with you again.
again you just completely ignore HOW moto takagi serialization started even after i given you the context. moto takagi was started as fanfic that yamamoto approved, given official serialization, then only later incorporated into main series. the series timeline was indeed a sequel series, but the writing has more nuance. you accuse me being delusional, but you simply have no counter argument nor knowledge about series thus you accuse other being delusional. sound like you are persistent even when you didn't know anything.

And I literally clarified what I meant after your very first answer, but you continued to ignore it, continuing to argue with a non-existent thesis. Now you're saying I never made it clear? Even though you made two posts trying to convince me that this was exactly what I had in mind? LOL.

you can clarify your argument if i missunderstood, but you never did.

because he did not have much control of it? moto takagi is not your average "literal" sequel. it started as yamamoto shuichiro made a single twitter illustration post of what if future nishikata family look like. then inaba made full fledged fanfic one shot manga based on twitter post which both went very popular and yamamoto give approval of inaba fanfic. editor who see this have idea "why not we publish this, this seems like easy money" and this idea was approved by both inaba and yamamoto.

There is still nothing anywhere about the that I called him the author. You are once again grossly distorting my words to argue for the sake of argument.

Or will you literally deny that he controls the development of a literal sequel to his main work?

because he did not have much control of it? moto takagi is not your average "literal" sequel. it started when yamamoto shuichiro get a paid request to made illustration about what if future nishikata family look like, yamamoto then post it on twitter. inaba inspired by twitter post then made full fledged fanfic one shot manga which both went very popular. yamamoto give approval of inaba fanfic. editor who see this have idea "why not we publish this" and this idea was approved by both inaba and yamamoto. it's only later yamamoto incorporate moto takagi into main series even further ahead by making nishikata-chan series.

he DID NOT controls moto takagi. he only credited as Inspiration. what he credited as author from takagi franchise is original takagi, ashita wa daiyobi, and nishikata-chan. he didn't credited as author in moto takagi and yukari-chan.
Show me where I either indicated that he was credited as the author. Do you understand that controlling the development of a franchise based on your IP and being a direct author are two different things?
you say yamamoto control moto takagi, but the extend he has control over it's IP is saying yes or no and giving some suggestion (which inaba didn't have to follow). he didn't for example giving out a plot for moto takagi because otherwise, he will credited as writer.

Fell out of reading this a while ago but it still feels weird to see it actually go, i actually kept up with the sequel manga more so its pretty sad that it will probably end too.

@RobertBobert Lol... By that logic boruto shouldn't be considered as a sequel to Naruto as it is not written by kishimoto
Ps, You can never win argument with a toxic yaoi fans. They will try to insert gay relationship to every anime especially the ones with huge male cast like almost all the sports animes. 
Western world can't comprehend close friendship between two males as anything other than being gay
I just appreciate it when people talk directly about their emotions and experiences, and not try to disguise them as shit like "green apples are ugly, so you're wrong in loving green apples."  I understand that, as I said above, direct expression of such experiences can be perceived as "asshole", but if your thoughts could potentially be perceived as such, then what can I say? It's just a bureaucracy of thoughts in my opinion.
